Barbecue pulled pork sandwiches just seem to scream summer to me but I always dreaded the thought of having the oven on all day when it was already so hot out. That all changed when I picked up a slow cooker as not only does it not radiate a lot of heat but it also produces perfectly tender pork every time. I had been craving some of that sweet, spicy, moist and tender bbq pulled pork for a few days so I dusted off my slow cooker and started to cook up some pork. This recipe is dead easy where you simply cook the pork in the slow cooker, pull it and mix some bbq sauce into it. You could make it even easier by using your favorite store bought brand of bbq sauce, but making your own is pretty easy and you get to make it just how you want it. This time I threw some chipotle chilies in adobo sauce into the
bbq sauce
both as the primary source of heat to add some smokiness. It just wouldn't be a bbq pulled pork sandwich without a generous helping of
coleslaw
thrown in and once again I went with the make your own option. I served the pulled pork sandwiches with a side of crispy sweet potato fries.

BBQ pork is so delicious... you should see how much Italians love it and devour it when I make it! They just can't get enough of it. And now I had a friend bring me some chipotles in adobo sauce from the US so I can make an even better pork from now on!

(delurking) slow cooker pulled pork is amazing. I usually use 1/2 to 1 cup of chicken or vegetable broth with a couple of tablespoons of bbq sauce to cook it in, and then mix in the bulk of the sauce when I'm pulling it apart ;d

I am afraid cooking with only 1/2 cup sauce isn't enough and I will end up with a burnt mess. Does the pork create juice when it cooks??? Do you add water or any other liquid to it during the cooking process?

ShannonM The pork will generate a lot of juices when it cooks in the slow cooker. I very often cook pork in it without any sauce so that I can make a variety of sandwiches from the same batch and it works out perfectly even like that.

Just want to say that anyone who does not own a slow cooker should rush out and get one NOW. right now I am doing chicken pieces in mine with onion and celery so that I can shred it and mix it with BBQ sauce for pulled chicken on this sandwich!
